SUMMER FLOWERING 
TUBEROUS-ROOTED BEGONIAS. 
TUBEROUS BEGONIAS 
The tuberous-rooted Begonias are among the handsomest 
of our summer-flowering bulbs. They bloom continuously 
throughout the summer, till frost cuts them. Planted either 
in the rockery or flower border, they rival the rose with 
their rich and varied colors, ranging from the most delicate 
shades of white, yellow and salmon to the most striking 
crimson and scarlet.
